A No.1 hit again after 65 years!

Even more impressive is that they sang the unbowdlerized version, which you’d probably get arrested for singing in New York today. And spare a thought, too, for Kirsty MacColl, who also died too soon and more tragically; “Fairytale” was as much her tune as it was MacGowan’s. https://t.co/yjXIQvMWxe
